Bonus come in? Happen to know someone in the US? Or live in the US? If you can answer 'yes' to those questions, you might be in the market for the Opening Ceremony desert boots.
Keeping a classic desert boot shape, these Opening Ceremony boots go for a thin sole and a distinctive upper in cloth with a leather trim, making something functional look a cut above.
Unfortunately, I've not seen the brand in the UK and even if they did appear, they wouldn't be cheap. Similar styles already on the company's site http://www.openingceremony.us/products.asp?menuid=5&key=desert%20boot&cn=menu5 sell for $360, which is around £220. Yes, you read that right.
